The Town of Guilford is a municipal government serving a coastal community along the Long Island Sound in Connecticut, centered on Guilford Center. It spans about 47.6 square miles and has a resident population around 22,500, with a mix of long-term residents and seasonal activity. Located between Branford and Madison, the town is a suburb of New Haven and is well connected by Interstate 95 and rail, supporting both residents and commerce while pursuing development in the southern commercial and industrial area. Guilford is characterized by its Town Green and a sizable collection of historic homes dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries, plus nearby museums that document its heritage. In early 2023, the town saw the retirement of its long-serving Guilford Social Services Director.
